'40 men and 4 women in every tech room': an AI & women mixer draws 50+ attendees
pritisinghhhh · x · 2026-09-06
Organizer @takeiteasyUrvy shared a moment from the AI & women mixer she hosted: someone remarked that 'every time I walk into a tech room, there are 40 men and 4 women' — a line she said sums up why these events exist.
The event drew 50+ women who discussed what they were building or wanted to build and helped each other figure things out. Some came with ideas, some out of curiosity, others simply to be surrounded by a supportive community. After hosting three such events, the organizer says she has plenty of insights to share in a future post.
